runaway point guard

Chapter 257 Feelings of Spectators [First Update]

"Beep!" The whistle sounded, and the first half of the game ended.

The score between the two sides was 43:40, and the Hornets temporarily trailed by two points at home.

Because in the second half of the second quarter, Duncan's post-up singles continued to force West, and West's defense still had some problems. What's more, in terms of height, as a power forward, he also suffered a bit. of.

Duncan scored 5 points in a row in the paint, and with Parker's throw, the Hornets' score was pulled away by the Spurs.Fortunately, they recovered a few points at the last moment, narrowing the score gap between the two sides to 3 points.

The second half of the game continues!
The Spurs' defensive tactics against Zhong Yu gradually took shape after an offseason of precipitation.

Now, they are strictly guarding against Zhong Yu's breakthrough, sticking close to Zhong Yu on the outside, trying to prevent Zhong Yu's jumper.

With such a two-pronged defensive tactic and the perfect cooperation of the players, Zhong Yu was also restrained today.In the entire first half, Zhong Yu only scored 12 points. For a player, 12 points is already a good halftime score, but for Zhong Yu, it was not convincing enough.

"Zhong Yu was restricted. Today's game once again exposed some of his shortcomings." A basketball commentator commented in the studio.

"What short board?"

"Physical quality! His physical quality is the biggest shortcoming. It can be seen that Zhong Yu's speed and strength have increased, but they are still not strong enough to match his skills. Every time he makes a breakthrough, he can Lightning cuts, tearing up all defensive forces, but after he reaches the inside of the free throw line, he puts away the basketball and faces those muscular inside players, and it is difficult to find his own offensive entry point."

"The Spurs seized his weakness and blocked his way before he made a layup with lightning speed. If Zhong Yu has a very strong layup technique in the interior, then the Spurs The team's defense will not affect him too much. However, the current situation is that Zhong Yu's layup skills after breaking through are not that good, and it is difficult for him to avoid the Spurs' strict defense."

…………

In fact, this is the case.

Zhong Yu could feel the Spurs' strict defense against him, which made him a little depressed.

The second half of the game has just started. Those who watched the game can clearly feel that the Hornets are not as efficient as before in handling offensive balls.

They didn't play as well as before when the positional warfare offense was deadlocked.

It usually takes Paul's breakthrough and then a layup to open the situation.

Another attack!
The Spurs kept the inside line tight. Paul tried his best to break into the inside line, but the space above his head was completely locked. At that moment, he immediately passed the basketball out.

Zhong Yu pierced through from the inside, received a pass from Paul, threw off his opponent, and directly made a neat fadeaway jumper.

With the sound of the basketball hitting the net, Zhong Yu quickly backed up and scored two points.

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that the offensive efficiency of the Hornets was not as high as before, and a large part of the reason was that Zhong Yu hadn't stood up for a long time.

He is now basically turned into an outside shooter by the Spurs. Although his jumper is still accurate, it is difficult for him to use his breakthrough to tear the Spurs' defense.

This is a big question.

Of course, the breakthrough threat is not enough, but Zhong Yu still has his sharpest weapon-jump shot.

His jumper is still a deadly weapon that threatens opponents.

However, after studying Zhong Yu's playing style, the Spurs now focus on marking Zhong Yu's second and fourth areas, and relax the defense of the other half of the half.

They also found out that Zhong Yu's area of ​​expertise is on the left side of the half court, and on the right side, his performance is not so terrifying.

It was another attack, Zhong Yu passed through a few running positions, got rid of his opponent, came to the left half, and then shot immediately, intending to shoot a jumper.But at the last moment when he threw the ball, Duncan suddenly pounced on him. After Zhong Yu was shocked, he changed the basketball from shooting to passing. The basketball bounced on the ground and flew into West's hands.

West made a jump shot and got it.

Zhong Yu got an assist, but he was not very happy in his heart.

In today's game, anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a problem with him.His scoring is no longer as arbitrary as before. Although the jump shot is still accurate, the problems encountered in breakthroughs make his fans not so optimistic.

Back on the bench, Zhong Yu's expression remained the same. Although the situation he just encountered made him feel a little frustrated, he would not give up because of this.

He never gave up believing in himself even in the most difficult times. At such times, all he has to do is to surpass as much as possible.

Scott and the others didn't say anything else to Zhong Yu about this, because at this time, everyone also knows that every player has his own inner fragility.

They didn't want to touch the place that Zhong Yu didn't want to touch now.

Of course, if they knew about Zhong Yu's frankness, they might have another idea.

The last quarter of the game has begun.

At this moment, the score of the two sides is 65:59, and the Hornets enter the final quarter 6 points behind their opponents.Such a lagging score seems a bit big in the away game of the Spurs.

The Spurs players are actually quite depressed.

In today's game, they managed to limit Zhong Yu and his terrifying inside charge.It's just that, in this way, Paul became aroused...

The relationship between the two of them will always be like this, once someone presses down on one of them, the other will pop up quickly.

In the past three quarters, Paul has scored 22 points and 12 assists. I don't know what kind of achievements this guy will achieve today.

The game is officially underway!
Just at the beginning, the two sides started the most tragic fight. Every time they attack and defend, they are punching to the flesh, almost desperately playing.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" West's ball collided with Duncan three times. It was not until Duncan took half a step back that West suddenly jumped up and made a mid-range shot.

Then, after the Spurs entangled with the Hornets for 20 seconds, Bowen hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Such a fight, in the eyes of the fans, is really wonderful.

The scores of both sides are rising, and no one is pulling the other away.

With the last 3 minutes left in the game, the score of the two sides was 80:76, ​​and the Hornets trailed by 4 points.

Zhong Yu controlled the ball and started to break through, but when he was inside, he was almost intercepted by Duncan. He quickly put away the basketball and passed it to West who made a quick air cut.West throws the ball back to Paul, who is on the perimeter, adjusts, and hits the [-]-pointer.

With this ball, Zhong Yu and West attracted enough firepower for the Hornets, and Paul had more time to shoot.

Otherwise, one of Paul's shortcomings is that his three-point shots are relatively slow and need to be brewed.

However, Zhong Yu still felt a little uncomfortable. If he could directly break through the ball just now, it might be an exciting slam dunk or something.

In this way, the Hornets pulled back three points, and the Spurs' lead was in jeopardy.However, at this time, Ginobili's shot was quite decisive. He also hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the score gap returned to four points again.

By this time, if it was an ordinary Zhong Yu, he would have been able to take over the game together with Paul or even alone, and win the inevitable battle of the Hornets, keeping the record above six consecutive victories.

However, today's Zhong Yu felt a little restrained because of the disgusting defense of the Spurs.

Then, the match between the two teams fell into a positional battle again.

Every attack and defense is a fierce fight with white knives in and red knives out.

"Shua!" With 57 seconds left in the game, the gap between the two sides was still 2 points. At this time, Paul got into the inside line like a fish, and then made a layup, scored two points, and evened the score. .

After the last minute of fighting, the game between the two sides reached the final moment.

10 seconds left!

The score is 87:86, the Hornets are 1 point behind!
At this moment, the arena was already in a state of boiling, and there were slogans for the Spurs to rise up everywhere. Every fan, at this moment, was booing the Hornets' attack.

Then, suddenly, Paul breaks through!
With the help of Zhong Yu, he passed Bowen, and then passed Ginobili in an instant, and suddenly came to a place near the free throw line, with the last 3 seconds left in the time!

Paul made a move!
Still his good throw, the basketball left his hands and flew across the sky.

By the time Duncan came up to defend, it was already too late. Paul's basketball, after a high parabola, fell directly into the net flower.

"Wow!" Paul beat the Spurs at the last moment!

With only 1 second left, the score was 87:88, and the Spurs were one point behind.

Their last shot was a cup, and the Hornets won the final victory in this game!

Every player rushed up to hug Paul, and Zhong Yu did the same!At this moment, besides excitement, they were also excited, excited about Paul's lore.

Only Zhong Yu, behind the real happiness, has an indescribable feeling, this feeling is the broken wall behind the prosperity, he feels like he has become a spectator.

Of course, he is not a complete spectator.

In this game, he still scored 23 points and had several assists.

It's just that, during the game, he has not played his previous role in the Hornets.

His performance today is somewhat regrettable to the fans.

All of this comes from the Spurs' targeted defense of him.However, in this league, there are too many coaches who have studied these things. Soon, other teams may follow suit. At that time, the myth of Zhong Yu may slowly come to an end.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yu felt it, as if the cuneiform was a little hot.
